Having grown up as a boy on the Estuary in Southend who I followed as boy, thank God we got Sol Campbell last week (although they may struggle to pay him too!!!). Pompey have been interested in Tis before, haven't they?
Yes. Tis told a Fan's Forum that he had persuaded a reluctant Board to let him go to for an interview there. He claimed he'd only gone to gather "intel" but several of us wondered; I was stood at the back with Mel Gwinnett and (IIRC) Sir Rob of Edwards and their expressions were, shall we say, interesting.
Not forgetting that they will have to be prepared to give him a "roller" too !
And be driveable from the Cotswolds !!
I had heard that the concerns of those making that appointment were around Tisdale were how he would 'fit' at Pompey (to be honest I think he'd have 'fitted' just fine if his team was a winning one). I suspect that ship might have sailed now, anyway.
The problem is, when he arrives the potential disintegrates.,
"Worn old shoes need a cobbler to be repaired; but worn old thoughts, only a rubbish bin".
From reading this I'm not sure if either Tisdale or the club understood the meaning of a rolling contract. If i'm interpreting this right, we were never liable to have to paid him off, but could have given him notice prior to the end of any even number of years since he was first placed on a roller, without having to pay him a penny in compensation.
